What does “One Six Eight” mean?

Who We Are

  • In 1 Chronicles 16:8, King David dances as the ark of God comes back to His people. "Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name [pursue Jesus]; make known his deeds [participate in the community]; among the peoples [proclaim Jesus]!” (1 Chron. 16:8)

    David is excited about a new story! A new story where God’s people are pursuing Jesus, participating in the flourishing of our city, and proclaiming God among all people. That’s where our mission statement comes from.

    Additionally:

    You have 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week. Which means, you have 168 hours in one week. We want to help you leverage every single hour for Jesus.

  • We want to help people pursue Jesus (2 Tim. 2:22), participate in the flourishing of our communities (Jer. 29:5-7), and proclaim Jesus among all people (Gen. 22:18). That’s our mission statement.

    Therefore, our community strives to live by these values.

    • engagement over entertainment: we give sacrificially for the renewal of our communities (Lk. 21:4).

    • community over autonomy:we joyfully surrender to community, journeying together and not alone (Acts 2:42).

    • prayer over self-reliance: we pray specifically, believing that God is the one who changes lives. (2 Chron. 7:14). 

    • multiplication over addition: we send leaders as we provide biblical knowledge, experience and coaching (Lk. 10:1).

    • diversity over uniformity: we pursue an ethnic and economic mosaic that is full of patience, grace, and truth  (Jn. 4:39).

    • Pray - We believe that God is the one who changes lives. The easiest way to pray with us, is to drop us your email at the bottom of this page.

    • Get Involved - Pursue Jesus with us, recommend us to your circles, or join a team. Again, the easiest way is to drop us your email at the bottom of this page.
